Cookbook overview

The main reason for creating the Tact Cookbook is to gather all the experiences of Tact developers in one place so that future developers can use it. This section of the documentation focuses on everyday tasks that every Tact developer resolves during the development of smart contracts.

Use it as a recipe book for cooking up delightful smart contracts on TON Blockchain without reinventing the wheel in the process.

For DeFi-specific elaborate recipes that include smart contracts, auxiliary scripts, and testing suites, see the Tact’s DeFi Cookbook on GitHub.

1. Single contract

   The following pages focus on single-contract examples and cover a wide range of topics:

   1️⃣ Single-contract communication

   ⚙️ Type conversion

   📦 Data structures

   🤖 Algorithms

   📆 Time and date

   ⚠️ Access control

   ✨ Randomness

   🔄 Code upgrades

   🤔 Miscellaneous

2. Multiple contracts

   The following pages focus on multi-contract examples, exploring the scalable nature of TON Blockchain:

   🧮 Multi-contract communication

   💎 Fungible Tokens (Jettons)

   Additionally, there are examples of working with popular TON DEXes (Decentralized EXchanges), which often require many contracts and complex logic:
